Mobility Awareness

Mobility is important. Regardless of a person's ability, being able to maintain independence is crucial and decreasing mobility barriers is crucial. My daughter suffered a terrible traumatic brain injury when she was an infant. When she was little, going out in to the community wasn't difficult. We used strollers and I could carry her but once she grew bigger and still couldn't walk, we needed special transportation strollers and equipment to go into the community. She required special wheelchair lifts on the bus and her transport van to her after school program at United Cerebral Palsy.Now, she is completely mobile and can ambulate on her own. It took a long time to get there. Had she continued to struggle with walking, we would have needed to start seeking out a wheelchair accessible vehicle in order to maintain our independence.

The National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA ) is one of the best resources for individuals and families who have a need for mobility. NMEDA is the BEST source for wheelchair accessible vehicles and mobility equipment. Mobility and freedom go hand in hand.
